RADAN Bending
RADAN Bending, now part of DESIGNER, is Hexagon’s advanced off-line programming application for press brakes.
Smarter Off-line Programming for Press Brakes
Why RADAN Bending?
Fast and Accurate Unfolding
Unfold sheet metal parts with precision, taking tooling requirements into account and leveraging a centralized materials database. This ensures every unfold is production-ready and error-free.
Capture and Reuse Expert Knowledge
Bending can be complex, and skilled operators are in high demand. RADAN Bending digitizes their expertise into a digital twin-based workflow, ensuring consistency and knowledge transfer across the team.
Validate Before You Cut
Eliminate costly errors and reduce the need for prototypes. By proving manufacturability before cutting, RADAN Bending minimizes risk, saves material, and increases machine uptime.
Simplify Workflows and Maintenance
With centralized data and intuitive workflows, RADAN Bending makes it easy to onboard new users, integrate new machines or tools, and maintain system efficiency — reducing downtime and ensuring smooth operations.
Who Benefits from RADAN Bending?
- Manufacturers needing accurate unfolds of sheet metal parts
- Teams looking to reduce downtime on press brakes
- Companies aiming to capture the knowledge of skilled operators
- Businesses wanting to prove difficult parts before production
- Shops looking to reduce prototypes and material waste
With RADAN Bending, every part is validated, every setup is optimized, and every operator can work with confidence. It’s not just off-line programming — it’s the smarter way to bend.
